I don't have any particular disagreement with any of the teachings.

All Stoic teachings I've also found in dharmic teachings; the reverse is not true.

I still think it's quite misogynistic especially considering what its original proponents stood for and/or did in their lifetimes.

Seems irrelevant to me. If someone says, "Considering that material possessions are transient will create peace of mind", either that claim is true or not. Scrutinising their life in some moralistic way doesn't make the claim any more or less true.

Stoicism back in the day was probably thousands of books and teachings. We only have about five surviving books, so a big part of the honest answer about Stoicism is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
